And it should have been obvious to me, lol, but it wasn't. I kept wondering why I could download something when I was root, but couldn't as a user. (I thought the runlime script would INSTALL it, not just run a JAVA applet.)
After a few tries, it dawned on me, "DOH You don't have permissions to the download directory!" So I thought I'd share that with the list before somebody made the same silly mistake! :0) tdh -- T.
